My friend Dr. Elaine Hsiao of Caltech and UCLA was the lead author of the paper mentioned in the article regarding the effects of B. fragilis in mouse models of autism. It was her doctoral work. If you find it interesting here are some talks and papers by her to check out:
A short talk covering the paper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWT_BLVOASI
A longer talk about the field of microbes and behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY_fRFjteAw
The actual paper "Microbiota Modulate Behavioral and Physiological Abnormalities Associated with Neurodevelopmental Disorders": http://www.cell.com/abstract/S0092-8674(13)01473-6
If you're interested in the Bacteria-autism connection mentioned in the article, here's a great talk by the researcher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWT_BLVOASI (The topic is "Mind Altering Microbes")
